It\u2019s easy to fall into a routine of using the Mac\u2019s Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad without taking full advantage of their features. Following are some things you can try to speed up your workflow with these peripherals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magic Mouse preferences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s look at the Magic Mouse and how it can be tweaked. Open System Preferences and choose the Mouse option.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the top of the Mouse Preference pane, there are two options: Point & Click and More Gestures. Click the first and can set one of these options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mouse
Here is the Mac mouse preference pane.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Scroll directions: Natural. With this enabled (which it is by default), the mouse scrolling will follow the direction of your fingers. I can think of no good reason to change this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Secondary click. Enable this and you\u2019ll enable right-clicking with a \u2026. well \u2026. secondary click on the mouse.You can choose whether you want that secondary click to be performed on the right or left side of your mouse. Sorry, but this doesn\u2019t work with non-Apple mice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Smart zoom. Enable this to be able to zoom in or out an item by double tapping the mouse with one finger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the bottom of the preference pane, you\u2019ll see a slider that allows you to adjust your mouse\u2019s tracking speed. Move the \u201cTracking Speed\u201d slider left or right to set the speed of the mouse pointer on your screen. You may have to experiment to find the speed that works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mouse preference pane also shows you the battery level of your mouse. It also offers the option to \u201cSet Up a Bluetooth Mouse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mouse preference pane also offers a \u201cMore Gestures option. Click it and you can choose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Swipe between pages. Select this option, and you can choose agesture to use to move between pages in a document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mouse
Shown is the “More Gestures” option.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Swipe between full-screen apps. Select this option to move between apps in full screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Mission Control. Select this option to double-tap with two fingers to enter Mission Control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trackpad preferences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now let\u2019s look at the Trackpad preference pane. Go to System Preferences and choose Trackpad. Now you\u2019ll have three options: Point & Click, Scroll & Zoom, and More Gestures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first tab, Point & Click, is where you set up some of the most basic gestures. For example, you can activate Tap to Click, which allows you to tap the trackpad instead of pressing it when you want to click something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trackpad
Shown is the Trackpad preference pane.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can also choose how you wish to make a secondary click. You can do this by tapping or clicking two fingers at the same time. You can also choose to click in the bottom left or right corner of the trackpad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Click setting adjusts the amount of haptic feedback you get when you click the trackpad. The Tracking Speed setting adjusts the speed of the cursor as you move your finger around on the trackpad. If your Mac or trackpad supports Force Click, you can activate this setting. Check out this Apple support document<\/a> to learn more. The document also tells you more ab0ut the Look up & data detectors option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose the Scroll & Zoom option in the Trackpad System Preferences and you can adjust:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trackpad
Here are the Zoom & Scroll options for the trackpad.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Scroll Direction: This is the same as the Scroll Direction option for the Mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Zoom in or out: The two-finger pinch lets you zoom in or out on an object on the screen. To zoom in, place two fingers slightly apart on the trackpad and then bring the fingers together (pinching). To zoom out, place two fingers together on the trackpad and then spread the fingers apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Smart Zoom: This is also the same as the Mouse option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Rotate: Rotate with two fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Select the More gestures option in the Trackpad preference pane and you have the options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trackpad
Shown are the option for “More Gestures” for the trackpad.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Swipe Between Pages moves you back or forward in any application that makes use of back and forward commands, such as a web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Swipe Between Full-Screen Apps activates a swiping motion on the trackpad to switch between any open full-screen apps you are using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Notification Center defines a swipe motion to open and close the notification panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Mission Control defines a swipe gesture to open Mission Control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 App Expose is used to define a swipe gesture to enter Expose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 LaunchPad defines a gesture to open the Launchpad app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Show Desktop makes use of a spreading thumb and three fingers to hide open windows and display the underlying desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessibility settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can also change some of the settings on your mouse and\/or trackpad via the Accessibility option. Open System Preferences and select Accessibility. Then select Keyboard. You can choose from Hardware and Accessibility Keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click the former and you have the option to Enable Sticky Keys. They make some keyboard shortcuts easier for people who have limited dexterity. When this feature is on, you can press the keys for a shortcut in sequence instead of needing to hold them down at the same time. You can choose to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Press the Shift key fives times to toggle Sticky Keys<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Hear a beep when a modifier key is set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b0 Display pressed keys on screen. If you wish them to be displayed, they can be shown in the top right, bottom right, top left, or bottom left of your Mac\u2019s screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also from the Hardware option of the Accessibility preference pane is the option to enable Slow Keys. Slow Keys adjust the amount of time when a key is pressed and when it\u2019s activated. If you enable Slow Keys your can choose to \u201cuse click sounds\u201d and set \u201cAcceptance Delay\u201d (the time the key must be held down) from short to long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Accessibility
You can set preferences via the Accessibility Keyboard option.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Accessibility preference pane (pictured above) also offers an Accessibility Keyboard option. Click it and you\u2019ll be able to enable the Accessibility Keyboard. This allows you to type and interact with your Mac without using a hardware keyboard. You can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate through all controls and perform actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pop-up window for a Panel Editor allows you to customize the panel shown by the Accessibility Keyboard (below). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some folks, the way a Mac is configured may not be the best for their personal style of work. Conveniently, many features including Mac and trackpad settings can be changed in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
